A DUI charge in the El Segundo area will usually be prosecuted in the LAX Court,
Division 140 on the 3rd floor of the courthouse.  The prosecutorial agency that
handles all drunk driving cases in El Segundo is the LA County District Attorneys
Office.  Our Defense Attorney, Matthew Ruff, has appeared in that Court
hundreds of times and our office is less that 15 minutes from the Court.  

The first thing that should be done after a drunk driving arrest is to request a DMV
hearing in order to challenge the license suspension that flows from the
administrative (APS) part of the case.  The Driver Safety office of the DMV is
responsible for seeing to it that a hearing is held if a request is made within the
prescribed time frame.  The DMV Hearing will be done in El Segundo at 390
North Sepulveda Blvd.  Our Law firm has handled well over a thousand license
suspension hearings with amazing results.

The city of El Segundo, with its own police department, is known for aggressive
enforcement of DUI laws.  Not only does the department heavily patrol its own
streets looking for impaired drivers, it also participates in the South Bay DUI
Task Force that enforces driving under the influence violations throughout the
region.  As local DUI Attorney in El Segundo, our law office has been involved in
many cases with ESPD, often obtaining favorable resolutions in Court and at the
DMV.

A DUI can stay on your record for 10 years or longer.  The consequences of a
drunk driving conviction can negatively impact your car insurance, your criminal
record, and the ability to sometimes advance in your career.   Many folks are
unaware that defenses to exist to fight the evidence in a DWI case.  The breath
test is not infallible, in fact in many cases  we have proven that the breath
machine malfunctioned and incorrectly reported a BAC level.  Finding the "weak
link" in a DUI investigation is our area of specialty.

One major focus of enforcement is the DUI checkpoint, the city utilizes this
approach in a variety of areas, often with dozens of arrests.  In recent years the
Courts have permitted law enforcement to not have to publicize these
roadblocks, however there are a number of constitutional requirements that must
be complied with in order to make them legal, our El Segundo DUI Attorneys
know these rules and regulations inside and out and we fight checkpoints in
Court.
